Building Singapore is a design project by Teo Yu Siang that explores 50 iconic buildings in Singapore through minimalist illustrations. The project is an examination of how buildings built us, and how uncensored, honest histories of the 50 buildings tell a different Singapore story.

“It’s an SG50 celebration that’s a little more introspective, because we can – and should – celebrate what we’ve achieved thus far and at the same time be aware of our flaws and the alternative narratives that drive our histories. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, a new building is explored, some with delightful back stories, and others that touch on issues like meritocracy and the cost of economic progress.”
